I have a Parker Hale in 7mm Remington Mag. I cant stand the stock. I am not familiar with Mauser's as I am with other rifle actions. If I go to Stocky's or Brownells to change out the stock, which stock do I ask for? This is a 98 Mauser ? Large ring?

I just need to know what to tell them to order the correct stock. Thanks guys in advance. Everyone has been so helpful with the odd questions I do ask (this one is less of my odd variety).

The stock has honest wear. But for some reason I can not stand white line spacers and the squared off forend that was so popular back in the 80s early 90s. Not assuming the rifle is from that vintage, it reminds me of so. I would like to put it in a nice walnut stock or a black weatherproof synthetic. Make my 7mm Mag a tough long range mountain rig.

save money improve hunting performance

One option would be to glass bed the action and free float the barrel if this hasn't been done already. Then paint it ugly like a synthetic. Little cost great performance. I'd paint the whole D thing barrel, action (except the bolt, trigger, safety etc.)
